I spend my nights down on the wharf 
In unlit alleyways 
By the church downtown 
Where Sally prays 
Come down sometime 
We'll share a rusty can of corn... 
And listen to the radio 
I love you, I love you, it says... 
 
[CHORUS:] 
Where did your heart go 
Did you put it on a train 
Did you leave it in the rain 
Or down in Mexico 
 
You cry, but I don't know 
I've heard it all before 
There it goes again, the slamming of the door 
Sometimes the river calls me 
And at night it calls my name 
Says "put your troubles down beside me" 
Things have always been the same... 
And rock 'n' roll won't teach me 
What the river said that night 
I jumped into this beauty 
And drifted out of sight... 
 
[CHORUS]
